Yes, you make a good point about the rapid turnover, given the tone of the series so far.
As for the stuff about Gallifrey, I'm probably not quite an avid enough fan to follow you properly there. I know Romana(etc.) was a Time Lord (Lady?), and I understand that Susan was the first assistant, and is referred to as the Doctor's grand-daughter: but does that automatically make her a Time Lord? I mean, is it genetic and automatic, or is it something some people on Gallifrey can choose to become, but others don't?
And I definitely don't know enough about Leela. I mean, I know she's basically prehistoric, but is she from prehistoric Gallifrey, then?
Sadly, I shan't be able to watch it tonight, as it clashes with a Christopher Lee programme I want to tape on another channel, and I can't tape one thing and watch another on my set-up. Since Doctor Who is repeated (the next night on BBC 3) and the Christopher Lee programme isn't, Mr. Lee has to win out, and I'll just have to wait.
